I will be stepping down as GM of the Calgary Flames. I don’t have the drive anymore to put an effort into building a competitive roster. I’ve put many, many hours into my team and it’s a very tough decision to put that hard work into someone else’s hands. I was handed a very good core when I took over the team in 2016 and I feel like I built a roster that will be a contender for years to come. I gave the team a legit minor league system that has hidden value all over it, with draft picks just now starting to make the roster that will prolong the contention of the team. I hope whoever takes it over, finishes the job and wins the CDCFL Cup. As to @Nail, keep doing a good job of running the best league on CDC and one of the best CDC has ever had. I’ve been playing fantasy hockey here since 2008, and this league is definitely up there in the ranks - there isn’t any argument in that either, I’ve been in them all/seen what other leagues are doing. Thanks for hiring me back in 2016 when I reappeared after a year or two of hiatus, I had a lot of fun in this league and hate to leave it behind. Wish I could say that will happen again, but for now retirement seems like the best route. Good luck to everyone, and keep this league to the prestige it has become. Edit: I also wanted to mention the core group of GM’s in this league are great. You guys are the reason it’s a strong running league as well. When you have the same core of GM’s, leagues can last a long time. Everyone was great to deal with and that made the league fun to keep coming back to.

I will be stepping down as GM of the Calgary Flames. I don’t have the drive nor will to put forth any type of worthy effort to this league, and never really did put much effort to begin with as I didn’t see a bright future for it. I don’t see it getting much better - the influx on random/new accounts is alarming and telling, to me. I hope it can work out for you guys and the kinks are worked out but it’s just not me for anymore. Good luck.

That is a absolutely brutal. I’m sorry.

Yeah a suite is another option. Lots of homes being built now have basement suites since that’s the only way people can afford their mortgages.

Majority of my friends are still with their parents or renting aka pissing their money away - they can’t afford a down payment and paying $1000+ in rent isn’t helping them save for that. I think the best plan is to probably get a couple buddies and buy a house, pay it off, then save but who knows. Tough to find 2-3 people with the same plan/timeline/ability to pay/etc.

You are right. I was told by my bank in the spring I could afford a home up to $200K. I could possibly afford a bit over that but it would probably be tight when other expenses come into play. It’s just the other expenses that come along with a house that I think put me in a bit of a bind. Internet/tv aren’t really that much of a worry for other expenses as I’m never going to pay for cable so I kind of have that aspect figured out. I can easily put down $10K and my truck payment will be done next year so that’s money that I could turn towards a house as well. it’s possible but it feels like the stars need to align just right for anything to work. I show my parents the price of houses or rent and they can’t believe it.

As a 24 year old, it feels impossible to think of owning a house and I live in PG

Bold OTB.

Looking for a depth forward, would be interested in trading Matt Benning for one.

Matthew Benning available for a draft pick. One year left at 2.850M - RFA.

Thomas Harley pushing hard for a spot with Dallas. Another top end defenseman in the organization that has come via the draft. Future looking good.

If I knew Reinhart was a switch shooter, I would’ve given up a huge package.

You did the right thing. You’ll never get a first for him from anyone else and next year is a disgustingly deep draft so seems like a no brainer to me.

Looking to move Matthew Benning for a cheaper forward. Could consider a draft pick(s) as well.

Not for this no

Jaden Schwartz • Evgeny Kuznetsov • Pavel Buchnevich Drake Batherson • Matt Duchene • Patric Hornqvist Jesper Fast • Mikael Backlund • Brett Connolly Carl Soderberg • Bryan Little • Zack Kassian Rudolfs Balcers Brett Howden Mikhail Sergachev • Mattias Ekholm Erik Brannstrom • Josh Manson Caleb Jones • Nathan Beaulieu Brendan Guhle Mike Smith Ryan Miller -- As it stands, this is how our lineup looks. Still looking for another top 4 defensemen, with some good pieces to package up for one (Koivula/Formenton/Howden/Aho/Steen/Ginning/1st).

Recall Brendan Guhle and Brett Howden

I am honoured to have the title of breaking up the American Dream

All other prospects available too, as well as draft picks. Also could be willing to swap one of my bottom 6 forwards for a defensemen of the same calibre.

Flames recall Erik Brannstrom and Drake Batherson

Looking to move out some cap - Marco Scandella is the casualty. Willing to move draft picks/select propsects in order to move him.
